Quick Green Thorn Planting Guide
 

  • Buy plant bowl from the provisioner NPC
  • Acquire dirt, either from a field or buy 20 fertile dirt from mystic in Ter Mur
  • Get green seed
  • Get a jug of water
  • Double click dirt, click the bowl
  • Double click water, click the bowl twice so it's "soft"
  • Double click seed, click bowl to plant it
  • Now you have to check it every day. Give it water when it needs it (yellow for one drink of water or red for two drinks of water icons in the upper right) give it a greater poison or greater cure potion when it needs it (same color coding as before)
  • Do this for 16 days to keep your plant healthy and at the end one plant will generate eight seeds and eight thorns. 

 
You can do this on as many plant bowls as you want.

 

ALTERNATIVELY

Buy the Rustic Theme expansion pack from the UO Store which gives you a single raised garden bed. More beds are available in an add-on pack. With these you simply plant the seed and wait the 16 days for a full harvest without any maintenance required.
